About Me

The members of FASHION WITH A GUN met at WAAPA (West Australian Academy of Performing Arts). Hailing from several different backgrounds, the band fuses funk and rock fundamentals to create high-energy instrumental music with a strong focus on melody. The wide range of influences prevalent within the band affords the members endless concepts to draw upon when composing and improvising. FASHION WITH A GUN is: CHRIS GIBBS (Kingpin, Huge, Living Large) on GUITAR, JOE SOUTHWELL (Slim Jim) on BASS, MATT McLEAN (ex-Racer, ex-Flesh Of The Lotus) ..BOARDS and MAT FERGUSON (Living Large) on DRUMS.
